Red Flags Signaling a Need for Grub Control
Grubs are rather stealthy creatures, and the fact that they live in the soil makes it easier for their presence to go undetected. That being said, they do leave behind several signs of their activity. Here are some you won’t want to overlook:
- Your lawn feels soft when you step on it. If your yard takes on the soft, spongy feel of freshly laid sod, you should suspect that grubs are at work. As they eat away at grass root systems, they leave turf with less of an underground structure to stabilize it.
- You can pull back sections of your lawn like a loose carpet. It can be particularly worrisome when your turf starts to lift up and away from your lawn, and this is clear evidence that grubs have gnawed off its roots in sections.
- You’ve seen evidence of other creatures digging in your yard. Common predators of grubs include skunks, armadillos, raccoons, and birds, which may start digging up your lawn when they realize that their favorite snack is just under the surface.
- You begin to notice random brown patches. Grass that starts turning brown is clearly unhealthy and, in many cases, is caused by the work of grubs.
